sadness

Cycle ride this morning.  Beautiful crisp sunny but windy morning.  Headwind going...and headwind coming back! Always the way!  Went to Brentor which is on the western edge of Dartmoor and where I used to live.  Said hello to my old house.  And then on past the Brentor Inn which was once thriving but is now closed.  While I was living in the village it was taken over by a new landlord who was not very welcoming - strange I know! Eventually he buggered off and the building was taken over by a builder who promptly closed the pub!  A not untypical tale of the decline of the British pub.  The extra photo is a happier sight - of my route across part of the moor.
